A year in review: Favorite Cards from 2010

I was looking over my crafts from the past year. I have SOOO many favorites this year.  Too many for just one post.  From now until the new year, I will post my favorite cards, Christmas cards, layouts, and projects.

Here's my favorite cards from this year:

Merry Christmas!

Here's some pictures from Christmas and more pictures of the house all decorated.   We got 8 inches of snow yesterday, so there's pictures of the dogs playing in it too.

I got a 60" TV for my husband.  He was shocked and THRILLED!

Layouts & Christmas decorating

Sorry I haven't posted lately.  Things are always super hectic during the holidays.  Tuesday Throwdown is on Christmas break - we will be back January 4th! 

I am still trying to finish up the 8x8 album of the dogs for my mother in law.  These were some very quick and easy pages, but I thought I would share them anyway.

First page: 

A winter layout:

This layout applies to the winter theme at Lasting Memories Challenges.

I've been busy decorating, wrapping presents, etc... So I thought I would share some photos:

Rocky loves sitting in front of the tree.  Unfortunately, I can't get Daphne to sit next to him...

I always put out tons of family photos around the holidays. 

I've been collecting Precious Moments for YEARS!

More Precious Moments

The gifts are ALL wrapped!  Aren't the cat and dog bags cute?

A present from my girlfriend Shel.   Isn't it cute?

Merry Christmas everyone!
